Some absolute crackers this weekend.

Fair point.

Meireles has really good delivery.

Thought the same. Poor Bolton.

RVP is in his league IMO.

De Gea

Fair points Still have him in my team - especially given he's not playing for any of the big three, and for what he's brought to his team outside of goalscoring for that matter.

Looking at the fixtures, can't believe it exists now. Glad to be involved though

Can't see how you can't RVP in a team of the season, btw. What's his record now? 23 goals in 25 games or something silly like that?

Good news is... Ashley will be adding more Sports Direct sponsorship to our kit.

Sorry to hear that mate. You almost had me. It's way too easy to sell me on betting certs I know zilch about

Electric night. Couldn't quite believe it. Felt cheated by the dive for the freekick for their first in the reverse fixture, so really delighted to get the win.

But not your son? Great punishment for not finishing his greens. "That's it - I'm giving your Juve ticket to that Milhouse kid from next door!

Four NUFC players in that squad.

I definitely think it's a familiarity thing rather than any massive influence new personnel have had - though Dzeko's form particularly has been sensational for their link-up play. Obviously Silva is still the daddy, but you'll note that when they're in full swing Dzeko is usually pretty influential too.

Don't watch it. What are the odds for this red hot tip of yours then?

Because the ref would definitely have heard it, reacted to it, and it'd have been dissent and the justice system of football would work perfectly. [/double disclaimer: this is a joke]

Seriously. If someone said that to me on the pitch, I'd tell 'em to piss off - but I'd continue with the game. Wouldn't run to the ref to complain, wouldn't run to the person saying it to confront him. In fact don't know why I'm using hypotheticals, wankers at school used to make racial slurs at me/others on the pitch - but you don't get involved in a big ruckus every time.

Disagree. In that intense atmosphere, I doubt Anton or any other QPR player would have thought of it as being any more than John Terry being a dick and/or running his mouth. Certainly nothing to stop the game about. He probably shouted back "fuck off" while getting on with the game. I think you've over-estimated the sensitivity of the players to the alleged phrase. It would have meant no more or less to Anton Ferdinand than the "knobhead" comment while he was out there, IMO. We're just speculating though.

You didn't even try to resist! Should have put in George Bluth though.

Just saw he wasn't playing. Edited

Hang on, under your version of events had he actually said it - what would have happened? Mikel, Cole and others would have swarmed around him? Or more likely just called him a wanker under their breath and got on with the game.

Don't think it can be discounted purely on the basis that other people heard it and didn't react. Presumably everyone knows what a scumbag Terry is, and his team mates live with it.

Quite clearly says it to me.
